Forums - Nintendo - The Labo-ratory: VGC OFFICIAL Labo Thread (Vehicle Kit out now)

Software itself looks pretty decent as expected. A kid could like this very much.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I think labo will fail, too expensive, and being cardboard is gonna turn people off.

Define failure, you seem throw out statements that you do not really define. 



 

The games have a lot more depth than I thought, was only interested in the robot kit initially, but the variety one has a lot of cool stuff, the fishing one and Excitebike look really fun.

Fuck some of that is actually really cool. It's weird because it's actually very ... detailed? I mean the games are detailed in how much modes or how well those modes are incorporated and they seem to have a lot of content. Too bad i'm way too old for this.

Well for one thing it hasn't done too well in pre-orders beyond past 10 days of it's initial reveal compared to other games and it's higher MSRP is starting to get unpopular ... (the robo kit is selling quite a bit less compared to the variety kit with a $10 MSRP difference and the latter is already releasing $10 above the average AAA game on top of that) 

Maybe that's just the retailers and things could change during the 2 months before the game releases but it doesn't look good right now for the new concept ... (we'll see if that changes at the end of next month)

Well failure in terms of being anything big like people expect. it might do 2-3 million. I just don't think it's gonna drive hardware, product is made for kids, and i don't think kids, are gonna be excited to play with cardboard. parents will also not wanna spend 60$ on something so easily breakable.

Kids love cardboard I'm a teacher and last year for one of our classes I brought a long a bunch of my used cardboard boxes along for the kids to build stuff out of; it was their favourite session of the whole year, they got really into it.

They do though. I'm a teacher and last year for one of our classes I brought a long a bunch of my used cardboard boxes along for the kids to build stuff out of; it was their favourite session of the whole year, they got really into it.

would parents spend 60$ on products so easily breakable?
